Conducting a habitat study: Grassland Ecosystem

Habitat: the place where an organism lives
Fauna: Animals
Flora: Plants

Method

1. Make a simple map of the habitat. Draw in any physical features e.g. streams, trees, ponds, paths etc.
2. Describe the abiotic factors e.g. temperature, soil pH, wind speed and wind direction.
3. Using a key identify all the various types of plants and animals (qualitative study).
   
   
4. Collect these using equipment e.g a pooter, sweep net, pitfall trap.
   
   
5. ​Estimate the number  of the organisms in the habitat using a quadrat and frequency table (quantitative study).
